On a posting on this blog on May 5 it was said that a priest in a sermon said that we should ask election candidates if they believe in the immortality of the soul.
On consultation with the priest he said that what he did say was that when the candidates call to our doors we should ask ourselves if they the candidates believe in the immortality of the soul.
That does change the complexity of the issue.
What one says and what the listener perceives to have been said is always a conundrum. It must always be a matter of being careful with our words.
